Even in your highly optimistic scenario, the AI wouldn’t even come close to being comparable to actual sentience.

    Well, theres a lot of experimentation with actual neural nets mimicing biology (or literally using biological neurons), and I think that could start to raise the spectre.

    World model research could be a significant component of that.

    In principle, OP is right; humans are just machines. All I constest is that transformers LLMs are even in the same ballpark, or possibly a path there... they are not.

    Well it sounds like we agree then.

    I would think you would need actual biological structures to achieve sentience. That’s a lot different than what these people are calling AI tho.

    Edit: Also, if it is built out of natural biological pieces, at what point does it cease to be “artificial”?

    Well biological structures can be replicated mechanically. So at risk of being pedantic, that's not strictly true.

    I view "artificial" as just a term for conscious, purpose construction, whereas "natural" does not involve any conscious intelligence, as in "naturally occurring in nature." But even that is a spectrum, I guess, with genetic manipulation, BCIs, all sorts of intermediate possibilities.

    I'd call a constructed, purely biological brain "artificial" because, even if it was grown naturally, it was built with conscious intent.
